Important Notes for Installing Baby Monitor

  • When using your baby monitor, you must ensure that the devices can establish radio communication. The distance of communication between the camera and monitor may be impacted by environmental conditions. Due to the unstable and constantly changing nature of wireless communication, the distance and signal quality may fluctuate, which is a normal occurrence.
  • Large metal objects, such as refrigerators, metal doors, or  reinforced concrete, may block radio signals between two units.

  • If the signal is weak, try relocating the device to a different  indoor location or adjusting the monitor’s antenna.
  • Do not place the parent unit and the camera within one meter of each other, as it may cause howling if the volume is set too high.
  • When you first receive the product, the parent unit may have a  protective film. You can choose to keep it on or remove it.

Before installing the camera, assess the effectiveness of your installation and verify the camera’s positioning by placing it against the wall at the desired location. Position the camera at a distance of more than 3ft from your baby’s crib to ensure optimal viewing.

  1. Securely hold the bracket against the wall. Then, use a marker to indicate the locations of the three mounting holes.
  2. Use a 1/5-inch (6mm) drill bit to create three holes at the marked locations on the wall.
  3. Insert the three anchors into the wall and gently tap them with a  hammer until they are flush with the surface of the wall.
  4. Align the anchor holes on the wall, place the bracket, and insert the three screws through the three holes of the bracket into the anchors. Tighten the screws securely.
  5. Locate the mounting hole on the bottom of the camera and align it with the head of the bracket. Rotate the camera around the hole until it is firmly attached to the bracket.
  6. Rotate the head bolt of the bracket to securely attach the camera.  Next, adjust the camera to a suitable position and securely tighten the bracket’s seat bolt.
  7. Connect the power adapter to the camera unit.
  8. Ensure that the camera unit is properly secured. If it is loose,  you may need to tighten the screws and bolts more securely.
